Well........ I've only killed one deer with a cast boolit, a 245 gr from my .44 SBH. My youngest son took temporary possession of my 30/30 and killed many deer with loads that I had cast and we loaded together, an my friend who sadly passed away...

You mentioned the .308 and cast. For most cast bullet loads it is a jump backwards using cast. In effect, it winds up being a .30/30 when loaded with cast bullets....for MOST. Some can push cast bullets that will expand faster than 2200 fps with...

But I had to do something in the shed...

I have a project going and I need to know what diameter a 308 and 338 neck turning mandrel is, I first assumed it was .308 and .338 but then started to think that would ruin neck tension so does anyone have one of each they wouldn’t mind measuring...
